EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the medieval era, specifically to a theater performance in 1410. The image is an exquisite manuscript illumination from a French translation by Raoul de Praelle of St. Augustine's City of God. It beautifully captures the essence of early theater during the Middle Ages. In this scene, we see a group of men gathered outside a grand building, eagerly awaiting the start of the play. The actors are dressed in elaborate costumes, transporting us into their world as they prepare to bring Saint Augustine's words to life on stage. A priest can be seen among them, perhaps adding religious significance to the performance. The setting itself exudes medieval charm with its architectural details and intricate design elements. This manuscript illumination showcases not only the artistry involved in creating such works but also provides valuable insights into how theater was perceived and enjoyed during that period. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we cannot help but feel transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the magic and allure of medieval theater. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our timeless fascination with storytelling through drama.
